from thekirks :
I'm so happy for you hon..the cast is beautiful.
from jd- :
The cast you did is amazing.As well, with the baby soon to be here, I just want to wish you a joyous day when your baby enters the world. I'm sure you'll be super busy for the next lil while, but hopefully we here at d-land might hear if it's a boy or girl and a name. I feel like I've been reading your diary this whole pregnancy and I am really excited for you!
from whereibegin :
What a wonderful way to create a tangible memory of your pregnancy! Absolutely beautiful... It won't be long now until your little one is ready to meet the world. Enjoy these last few moments of your pregnant self.
from jd- :
I am so terribly sad to hear about your friend's loss. I will keep her in my thoughts. AS well, thanks for the warning about the moles... this applies to me.
from leemp :
SEE that? You did lose 1lb! :) I hope you won't have to walk up 5 flights of stairs any time soon. yikes... I felt like I was reading my own diary, especially when you started describing body shop 'dewberry', Boy does that scent have so much memories for me....
from thekirks :
Happy Holidays to you hon!
from leemp :
You look SO GREAT. I felt like I was carrying a HUGE basket ball near the end. You won't get that much bigger from now on. :) I lost 1lb during the last month of pregnancy(that's normal) and was really happy. tee hee hee.
from leemp :
awwwwwwww, I remember those days! my lil one's now out of the crib & screaming. He still hiccups though. :) The room looks wonderful, hope you're feeling well and thanks for the kind words.
from vividdreamer :
Not boring at ALL! I love reading your journal, and I'm so excited for you about the baby. I'm just as ready as you are for the Christmas break...and I have a lot of cleaning and organizing to do myself, even though I'm not planning on the arrival of a little one. ;-) *Hugs*
from whereibegin :
Oh my goodness... look at you! You are fabulous! And the room looks good too. :)
from grngrl75 :
The baby's room looks great! And you look like such a happy mommy!
from nascarwidow :
No, I still can't but I've worked around it by reading from the source. No pictures, but at least I can keep up with you! :)
from nascarwidow :
Sounds perfectly wonderful! A friend of mine in Maine saw the lights also and said they were awesome.I hope you find that kitten's home.
from nascarwidow :
I finally got a chance to make my way to your diary to catch up but am having trouble getting to the bottom of your entries. I hope this new hard drive isn't wanking out on me already. From what I was able to read, you stamped in the nursery. Sounds lovely! I'd love to see pics if you have time and energy for that. Be good to yourself, you deserve it!
from grngrl75 :
Love to see a pic of the room!
from leemp :
ok takethemoney, You are GORGEOUS!
from vividdreamer :
Just a quick note to say that I absolutely LOVE the new layout. It's gorgeous, and so very uplifting.
from grngrl75 :
I loved your pics..you look like a proud mommy!
from leemp :
First of all, you will have TONS of energy in your last month and you are correct, if you don't clean now you won't be cleaning for a year! Get rid of everything & assign a place for each thing. Make sure you and your husband TRY never to put anything where it doesn't belong. I would get a big trash can and throw out anything you don't need as well because you will SOON have a crawling baby who will get into everything! DO IT FOR YOUR BABY! :)))))))))) GO GO GO! :) Good luck! (I play Viola)
from jd- :
Reading your journal makes me so happy. No one I know well has had a baby, so I've never heard all of these stories about the development. Those ultra sound pictues are sooo neat.Hope you and the baby are feeling great.
from grngrl75 :
Thank you so much.
from grngrl75 :
I'm so happy for you hon. I'm following your pregnancy along and my heart is with you.
from jd- :
That picture is so cute. Although I've never met you, you look beaming in it.
from nascarwidow :
How sweet. It's wonderful to read of you and your hubby's excitement. Time is an amazing healer.
from leemp :
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW Much love & hugs to mommy and baby! :)
from jd- :
Your entry made me feel so happy for you, and just in general!
from leemp :
You don't have a reason to be understanding with comments & looks of 'worry'. It's your beautiful & healthy pregnancy & everyone should shut it & be happy for you! No wonder it bothered you all day. Next time your MIL says such a thing, I would tell her how those comments and looks from people make you feel!
from nascarwidow :
How are you? Just checking to make sure everything is okay.
from nascarwidow :
How are you? Just checking to make sure everything is okay.
from jd- :
Thank you so much. It means a lot to me. It really does.
from whereibegin :
I guess I never mentioned I wear glasses, did I? I wore contacts until a year ago, when my eyes revolted. Contacts can be so drying... anyway, I found a pair of glasses I liked (kinda funky, but still modern), and I've worn them ever since. Now, when I see pictures of me without glasses, I don't think I look like me! I can't wait to see your pictures...
from leemp :
I had to leave another note. It's so sweet your husband talks to the baby, awwww. :) (As soon as my baby was born, he recognized his daddy's voice saying "Hi little buddie" and turned to him. Needless to say my husband was in heaven from that moment on.)
from leemp :
Hope your pregnancy's going well & you're taking LOTS of naps. :) I remember those days!
from grngrl75 :
Thank you so much for your condolences..
from nascarwidow :
Good for your mum!!!!
from jd- :
I was absolutley fascinated reading that entry!
from nascarwidow :
Good for you for making that first purchase! I'm praying the days until you pass "the day" will not be too stressful for you!
from nascarwidow :
Awww, how sweet. It's so good to hear that things are going well and you are enjoying the good parts. The gagging will hopefully pass soon. Thanks for updating!
from nascarwidow :
Are you okay? How are things with the squirrels?
from redshoegirl :
:-D that's great Lana! Good for your little one! x
from nascarwidow :
Yay! I'm so happy for you.
from nascarwidow :
I'll keep praying all goes well. It's nice your puppy is keeping you busy.
from jd- :
Your puppy is sooo adorable. It looks like it should be in a puppy food ad. I feel giddy with excitement at the thought of a pup that cute!! (I REALLY want a dog if you can't tell.)
from nascarwidow :
Darling doggie!!! Glad to hear you're dealing better. Praying things work out for you.
from redshoegirl :
My heart just officially melted! He is beautiful! And the picture of the cat just looking at him made me fall about. You are lucky to have him! x
from redshoegirl :
Aw, new puppy! How exciting and gorgeous! Pets are the best medicine. x
from redshoegirl :
Lana, you could check out my friend Alice's baby diary - alicesbaby . She had early bleeding and is now a healthy 18weeks preg. She writes really good descriptions so you know exactly what she means. She's also very lovely!
from redshoegirl :
Oh Lana, Hugs for you! It doesn't always spell the end, as I'm sure you know. Could just be the little one settling in. I will be thiking of you and praying. Let us know how you get on. Lots of love for both of you x
from nascarwidow :
(((((((((((((((Lana))))))))))))))) I'm praying it's nothing serious.
from nascarwidow :
It's wonderful that the old feelings began to stir in you again. Don't worry about hubby being Catholic, I was born, raised and married in the Catholic church but about 11 years ago switched. Once I started attending others and really listening, I realized I how much more I enjoyed them and got out of the service. There's hope for him to find peace if he's going with you. (((((Lana)))))
from redshoegirl :
Oh Lana, I'm just the same. I haven't been to church in so long, and I really want to get back. But it's so...scary. I'm glad you've found a way back in. I really hope it works from your family x
from nascarwidow :
Lana I'm so sorry she did that to you. It was a horrible thing for her to have done. I think you have a right to not like her very much right now. ((((((((Lana)))))))))
from nascarwidow :
I felt that way after my miscarriage. I was so afraid something would happen again. I refused to tell anyone except my husband until I felt it was "safe" and with each pregnancy the amount of time I waited was different. Hang in there and don't be too hard on yourself.
from redshoegirl :
I'm not so lazy...I searched for you "I told hubby when he got home from work last night. Before he even got his coat off, I blurted out "So, are you ready to be a dad?" His response was so him: "What? Get out of town!" ". So yes, it was the same!! I'm so happy still Lana. And I think it's healthy to drink a bit of wine, spray some bugs etc. I am so excited for you. And I love you too!
from jd- :
I just wanted to leave you a note to say that even though I only know you from what you write in your journal, you and your family are in my thoughts for a save pregnancy.
from nascarwidow :
Oh Lana, I'm so happy for you. I'm going to pray that all goes well for you. The trip sounds fabulous. I didn't realize you say "the bush" in Canada. I always enjoy learning things like that. Good luck and best wishes.
from redshoegirl :
:-D Oh Lana!! how exciting!! I really hope it all goes well. You are going to keep me smiling for sometime with that news. I loved your wedding entry too...and now, baby entries :-) hooray!! Love to you and your husband. Thinking of you always xx (Ps, what is that note below on about?? Bizarre!!)
from menrbastards :

from redshoegirl :
Ooh, how exciting! I'll pray for your decision making, I know you'll make the right choice x
from redshoegirl :
Hi lana, hurray for time away. I'm glad you had some nice quality time. I hope you get better appreciated for the work you do! I really admire you x
from parlance :
Have you ever noticed that the more hectic things are, the more fun they seem to be when you get a reward of some sort?
from grngrl75 :
Thanks for your note...some days just seem worse than others. Most times I struggle for something to write about because I find most of my life boring...I dont want to bore others so I dont write about much. I guess I need to just let go and write about whatever and not worry what others think? ...
from redshoegirl :
Good heart-following Lana. Maybe we'll be teacher training at the same time. Would it mean you'd have to put off baby plans? Hope work gets a bit better, chick, you deserve it! x
from redshoegirl :
Ooh, I'm glad spring is coming! I know you've had enough of that snow. Your poor co-worker, these things are so hard. She's lucky to have your support though xx
from nascarwidow :
I can only imagine the stress you have to deal with in your job. You always sound so calm and matter of fact about your work. You are truly amazing to do what you do and care so much about others. I hope you can find the additional support you need for this case.
from nascarwidow :
Sorry you had such a bad day. I hope things start looking up for you soon, you deserve it! Hope you have a restful and relaxing weekend. Big hugs for you.
from redshoegirl :
Hugs Lana! I'm sure it will all settle down soon, and you will get your baby. I think about you a lot. And congratulations for not whacking that kid with the shelf. That would have been my course of action.
from jd- :
I know people always say this, but sometimes it's true, everything happens for a reason. I hope you husband finds something that makes him happy, but don't stress too much, life has a way of working itself out.
from jd- :
Thanks you! I agree, I think it was a very good idea, he's a keeper.
from avalonte :
Thanks so much for your lovely message! I'm so glad I found you again! I had your url bookmarked on my old pc, but it died! I am so so sorry to hear about your miscarriage! You poor thing! *hugs*
from redshoegirl :
Glad you're back and recovering Lana. The netball lady will always be hard for you, but I know you are strong and brave and will cope with it all. Are you still hoping to concieve again soon? Sorry if that was too personal, but I want to be able to pray for the right thing :-) xxx
from jd- :
Those are amazing pictures! What beautiful land you have! I live in the city, so that is amazing to me! I'm sure you enjoy it for all it has to offer!
from redshoegirl :
Oh Lana, it's so beautiful! One day I will make you laugh by showing you similar views of my home. heh. I'm glad you're ok, give my love to your husband too. And update again soon. I missed you!
from cassiopeia- :
Happy Valentine's Day! kisses, cassie
from redshoegirl :
Oh Lana **(((HUGS)))** You're doing a great job. It must really be very very hard though. Things like that you just wish permeated everyone's conciousness...voicing it must be awful. And what a moment to take that photo?! Crazy hospital lady!! I'm not sure anyone looks at their best while someone sucks their blood out of their arm!
from redshoegirl :
That sounds great...and you probably weigh a little more than you did as kids ;-)
from jd- :
I hope the sunshine helps to keep your spirits as up as possible. Even though I only know you from reading your journal, I have still been thinking and you and your family.
from redshoegirl :
Hope the D&C goes OK Lana, and provides a little closure. It must be very, very hard, I can imagine few worse things, particularly being seen in that same department. Be gentle with yourself, and don't rush anything. Grieve for this baby. Love and prayers, Meg xx
from clrmehppygrl :
Tried signing you guestbook, no luck, so notes it is. I wish I knew what to say to make you feel alright. But greiving is such a personal emotion, that no words could help. You and your hubby are in my thoughts, and my husband's. We send much love and many condolences your way.
from redshoegirl :
Oh Lana, I am so sorry. I wish I could give you some true comfort. I hope your body recovers soon, and the D&C isn't too distressing. Lots of love to you and your husband, I can't imagine how hard this must be. I'll be praying for you x
from jd- :
I'm really sorry to hear about your loss. Take care.
from jd- :
It's funny how life works its self out like that eh? You never know who's going to come back into your life.
from jd- :
I think that's a really good point. I cannot begin to imagine what life is like for a young teen mom. It amazes me that so many young women can do it, it takes a lot, that's for sure. Congrats to your cousin for doing so well for herself!
from redshoegirl :
That IS cold!!! I thought it was in Farenheit at first, but then I realised you were a sensible Celcius type. I didn't think anywhere got that cold! Wow.
from jd- :
This is just a quick note to say that I really enjoy reading your diary... I find myself kinda interested to read your posts...hopefully that sounded nice, not creepy..lol.. anyways, thanks for the good reads.
from jd- :
Thank you, and an even bigger congrats to you and your husband for you big news! I'm sure your holidays will be extra special this year.
from redshoegirl :
Hey Lana, aren't you pretty?! It's lovely to see you, I love being able to imagine my online friends xxx
from jd- :
That story really made me feel their disappointment, and made me think.
from jd- :
Thank you, I hope she gets better too. SOrry to hear about your grandma though.
from jd- :
Thanks! I'm really excited. btw, I'm glad your step dad is out of the hospital :)
from jd- :
I can't belive it was snowing in Northern Ontario today! I am from Southern Ontario and it was 22 degress here today.. sorry.. I'm sure it's not the nicest thing to add in... anyways, just thought that was kind of funny...Ontario's so big!
from jd- :
I saw that you added me to your favs. I like you journal.. as I am in teacher's college right now it gives me some insight into what I am coming up against... plus I like the way you write.
from redshoegirl :
Hi Lana, hope you check your notes!! I'm so glad you enjoy your work, it must be great to make a difference xxxx
